power fantasies are inescapable. people may dress them up with language of "promoting freedom" or "fighting slavery" or "defending democracy" but it's all the same at the end of the day, they all just want the guys they like to trample on the guys they don't like.

i just cut back the bullshit and get all the cringe baseline humoids funneled into a state-sponsored meat grinder by conveyor belt. boot go stomp. no pretense.

this sounds like a great opportunity for a money hungry nation to just advertise their weapon wares to other nations, after all, if 20% of your population is in the military, then surely at least 15% of those need some top quality weapons, right? $$$$$$$

trade go brrrrr

I am confused, are you saying your nomads can somehow fly to space and sabotage generic FT empire's death star or I can? If it's the former then your just like them.

The only competently OP'd, realistic, and genuinely worthwhile thread in II currently. I hate to admit that I'm getting tempted to join that, actually. In the immortal words of Edmund Blackadder, I have a cunning plan...

I can't relate, I never leave F7. Feels nice not to be involved in... a single roleplay, and I can spend that time considering whether I feel like writing factbooks instead.

The key is to be creatively insane. Anyone can be Mordor, but autocracies like Federal Remnants are a rare treat.

eh, there are others but they're closed to one or two effortposters, mostly.
the only other comparable one in terms of activity that i can think of is ~~shameless self-plug~~ pointy green stick man's genocide challenge, but then again that's ft/fant and hardly realistic.

In general many countries are obvious power fantasies, it’s easy to tell when the leader is supposed to be a self insert of the player, oftentimes a young, idealistic, monarch

i think i saw like two clones of komi's holy russian empire too at one point, which is a bit disappointing, i'd really like to see other creatively written wack-o bizarre dictatorships like mine but instead you get taboritsky funny man. i think i saw a new eurasian-esque nation that had the black sun and a hand on it which i thought had very strong potential

This can totally work if it's done well. If the "elected" representative "democratic" institutions are quite clearly turned into rubber-stamp bodies as a display of kleptocratic corruption [cough cough], it's good as a plot device. But if they unironically pretend, OOC-ly, that their nation is a democracy while Mary/Gary Sue self-insert does all the heavy lifting, that's what I can't stand.

yeah, this is true and honestly i've wanted to write a state like that for a while now. i'm just getting around to doing that. but it's when that perspective is expressed oocly that it becomes irritating.

tbf that's not limited to just one-line rp. it's possible to go "ohoho look how much i know about military tech imma flex how much i can minmax my army to the point of unbeatability" too, and it's got much of the same effect.

The real based military builders are those who have good knowledge of military tech and use that to build a realistic army rather than an unbeatable minmaxed one. I like to think I've made my army fairly realistic and gave them decent equipment, but not the best stuff you can get in MT. The people who try to tech wank in MT don't realize that a lot of the "best" stuff has low production numbers for a wide variety of reasons, and that some of the stuff they think is cool is downright useless in most conflicts.

So basically

Female monarch - who you wish you could fuck but you're a lowborn peasant with no friends so you can't
Male monarch - who you wish you were but you're a lowborn peasant with no friends so you aren't

I'm fairly sure there's also been a male monarch who the creator in question quite ostensibly wished he could, uh, spend time with. I forget the nation, they spammed out a whole load of the same copy-pasted format though.
